Metric Vs. AWG Size Conductors
At the upcoming IMTS 2024 in Chicago, September 9–14, Siemens will present its extensive machine tool CNC portfolio and digitalization software technology, highlighted by the digital native SINUMERIK ONE control platform for machining applications. Also, using a sports theme of “Speed, Agility and Endurance,” aimed at the machine shop on its path to digitalization, Siemens will introduce MACHINUM to the North American market. MACHINUM brings together machine tool controls, digitalization software and machine shop services from Siemens to help manufacturers optimize their production processes, to provide agility for quick adaptation to changing customer requirements and calculated uptime needs, plus enable digitally proven endurance to maximize the productivity of the entire machine shop or production department.
Not so long ago, when you wanted to take a road trip, you had to break out a map and plot your route manually. You could not account for the wealth of variables that could seriously disrupt or even derail your journey. There was no way to anticipate road construction, accidents resulting in long delays or detours, weather-related occurrences, or missed turns yielding delays in arrival.
How can you integrate a drive configuration into the main circuit Today, the drives can be designed in the TIA Selection Tool according to the application. However, the embedding in a higher-level main current view was missing until now. The latest update now makes this possible. Plan your control cabinet’s electrical system from the top feed to the bottom drive. Other aspects such as controls and other consumers are integrated as usual. In this webinar, experts from Siemens will introduce you to the new functions.
Siemens Smart Infrastructure is supplying the first Tier IV-certified data center in the region of Paris, France. The “Thésée” data center will meet the highest industry standards for availability and energy efficiency. Siemens will install its White Space Cooling Optimization (WSCO) smart solution to optimize the building’s energy efficiency as well as the thermal protection of the server rooms by automatically adjusting the operation of the cooling systems.
As the demand for electric power continues to increase, so does available fault currents. When available fault currents at the HVAC equipment exceed the panel’s short circuit current ratings (SCCRs), there can be catastrophic results. Watch Littelfuse’s new video Learn How to Calculate and Increase the SCCR for an overview of the popular method using the UL 508A Supplement S-B.
No one puts up with slow data connections in the home or office, why do so on board a yacht? As experts in improving system performance, A+T have seen an increasing number of super yachts and race boats moving towards an Ethernet based instrument systems because in our modern era information flow is expected to be fast and readily available. The current installed base of A+T Instruments includes over 500 of the largest and fastest boats on the planet and this is growing fast.

This webinar presented by Beth Lessard and Keith Cordero will be highlighting three Panduit solutions that will optimize network equipment and cabling to ensure that your spaces are efficiently and properly managed to support ever-evolving business needs of today and beyond. Products that will be featured include PanZone TrueEdge Wall Mount Enclsoure, Cable Managers, and Adjustable Depth 4-Post Rack.

The Siemens SIMOVAC medium-voltage non-arc-resistant and SIMOVAC-AR arc-resistant controllers have a modular design incorporating up to two 12SVC400 (400 A) controllers, housed in a freestanding sheet steel enclosure. Each controller is UL 347 class E2, equipped with three current-limiting fuses, a non-load-break isolating switch, and a fixed-mounted vacuum contactor (plug-in type optional for 12SVC400). The enclosure is designed for front access, allowing the equipment to be located with the rear of the equipment close to a non-combustible wall.

Power is vital to production, and well-designed control cabinets are key. Allied Electronics & Automation offers a comprehensive collection of control cabinet solutions including PLCs, HMIs, contactors, miniature circuit breakers, terminal block connectors, DIN-rail power supplies, pushbutton switches, motor starters, overloads, power relays, industrial Ethernet switches and AC drives engineered to keep your operations running safely, reliably and efficiently.

The OMRON S8NR Series is an IP67 rated industrial power supply designed for out of panel installation in harsh environments where dust, moisture, vibration, and accessibility challenges impact reliability. By moving the power supply outside the control panel, S8NR reduces enclosure complexity, electrical labor, and service time while maintaining stable, protected DC power delivery. Read More…

In power distribution, heavy-duty machinery and transportation applications, vibrations can weaken a terminal block’s clamping power and loosen wire connections. The resulting power and signal failures can lead to unwanted system downtime, fire and shock risks, or other safety issues. Fortunately, one type of terminal block design makes secure connections possible while also providing easy… Read More…
